PILOT course is a skill-based lubrication training specially designed for technicians associated with lubrication related jobs like Greasing, Top-up, Oil sampling, Filtration, Field inspection, Lubricant storage and Handling etc.
If you aren’t using the correct lubricant at the right time in the right quantity and in the right place, you could be doing your equipment more harm than good. Modern lubrication programs have changed considerably from “old school” to “new improved methods”.
Skill based lubrication training for:
- Lube Technicians
- Operators
- Shop floor Associates
